Step right up! Florence School's cafeteria just became the Greatest Lunch Show on Earth.

This week, we're celebrating National School Lunch week with Cafeteria Circus: new decorations themed menus, and a whole lot of reasons to actually look forward to lunch. Same great meals, just a lot more fun finding out what's on the menu.

This is what it looks like when lunch becomes something to talk about at pick up.

Meet the real stars of the Cafeteria Circus.

Before your child ever sits down to eat, our cafeteria team has already planned the menu, prepped
the food, and made sure it meets national nutrition standards; then they do it all again tomorrow.

This week, we’re giving them the spotlight they’ve earned all year.
